Installing art pieces in people's homes was a great idea (Living With A Young Master, June 21), and I appreciated the willingness of all the artists honestly to engage with the recipients' comments - all, that is, except Dinos Chapman, whose "you don't judge my art, my art judges you" defence was wonderfully ironic.

I enjoyed your piece about art in a domestic setting, especially the revealing comments by Dinos Chapman. Tinkerbellend reminded me of the work done by the flasher character from the Benny Hill Show. The one difference is that where the flasher was happy with a blush or a slap, Dinos's work is not complete without attacking his audience for their reaction. Perhaps this is the true purpose of Tinkerbellend, its "point" constantly shifting to the opposite meaning of whatever the audience thinks, in order to give Dinos a chance to put us down. A prime example of empty, ego art. Cheers, Dinos. Aaron Cockburn-WoodsBromley

I was less shocked by Tinkerbellend than I was by one of Andrew Shoben's answers (Q&A, June 21). While I would definitely give the eye-catching, genital-faced piece houseroom, I wouldn't want Shoben taking up residence anywhere near me. He despises the poor woman to whom he subjects his loud music because she asks him to turn down the volume? Shouldn't that be her despising him? Adam RobertsTwickenham, Middx

I am one of those whom Joanna Blythman lectures for not drinking enough water (Parched In A Flood, June 21). My reasons are quite simple: my tap water tastes awful and is not fit to drink and, as a pensioner, I cannot justify paying the high prices charged for bottled water: ergo, I hardly drink the stuff. Blythman, and you, should remember that there are poor people in this country as well. Michael GreenwoodIngleton, Yorkshire

Gary Younge's A Supreme Showdown (June 21) was one of the best pieces of journalism I've read about race, law and intellectual racism. As an African-Briton, and part of a community struggling for real action to be taken against those accused of institutional racism, the struggle for legal acknowledgment of the fact that the US was built on discrimination resonates with many African-Britons in the UK as well as African-Americans in the US.

"Virtute et Industria" has a more precise meaning than "Virtue and Industry" (Julie Burchill, June 21). The motto means "by [or from] valour and power and industry" - valour and power being for the Romans essential characteristics of virtue. I suspect that the city fathers of Bristol who chose it had it in mind that these were the qualities that made Bristol what it is. Julian RathboneThorney Hill, near Christchurch, Hants

Please will you tell Christopher Lloyd (Gardens, June 21) that Los Angeles is at roughly the latitude of Morocco. It is the Gulf Stream that makes the difference. Dennis WilkinsBlakedown, Worcs

You're scaring me now. I enjoy Arabella Weir's column, and I'm sure she's a very nice person, but does this mean I have to sleep with her to keep my name out of your magazine? Pete Quinpete@petequin.com
